Wyoming MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

What must be included on the label of a prescription drug container regarding the name of the practitioner?

1. Phone number

2. Name

3. Name and address

4. Address

The correct answer is: Phone number

The correct answer is A. The phone number of the prescribing practitioner must be included on the label of a prescription drug container. This is important for patients to have access to the prescribing practitioner for any questions or concerns they may have regarding the medication. While it is true that the name of the practitioner should be included on the label, the phone number is specifically required for patient convenience. Including just the name without a phone number may make it difficult for patients to reach out if they have any concerns or require clarification. Options C and D are incorrect because including just the practitioner's address without a phone number would not provide patients with a direct means of contact for the practitioner.
